Chapter 1
It was dawn. The sun slowly reaching the surface of the Uchiha compound… No, there isn't a single Uchiha present inside. Only a single Hyuuga, lazily opening her eyes, feeling the same struck of pain looming over her heart. It is not the first time she wakes up on an empty bed. It has been the usual for over a month now. She has no real idea to where her husband is, or whatever he is doing. All she could remember is that every time she asks during the afternoon when her husband comes home is that, he's up early for training. Not that she doubts her husband. She knows the reason and she accepts it, swallows it every single time. It must be her fault that she has not given birth to a single child. She had been a failure all her life. No wonder her clan was so happy to let her marry the Uchiha.
Hinata has stopped running errands in the hospital as a nurse. It's not that she wanted to. Rather, her husband did not like her working such lowly job as he calls it. She also stopped being an active Ninja; she did not have to do any of that. Her only task is to give birth to his child. What a wonderful job she's doing huh?
It has been three years since their wedding. It would be an out-right lie to say that Sasuke did not treat her any good. The first night they spent as husband and wife was awkward as should be but he made her feel somewhat relaxed. That night Sasuke had been gentle, he told her everything she needed to hear. It may not be the first time they did 'it', but it's the first for Hinata doing 'it' being sober. Night after nights, the words became lesser and lesser. Yes it was numbing, she later felt like she was a baby-making machine or some sort, well, one that's malfunctioning by the way. Along those nights, the time they spent, the few words they exchanged, and the short glances they gave, she came to understand him. Later on, she fell in love with him. Although he said what she needs to hear, the one thing she desperately needed to hear never came out from his mouth. The three simple yet complex words "I love you".
You may now think that she's delusional, believing something that may never or would never happen. Didn't she have enough? He took responsibility even though it was her fault for being, you know, 'loose', she was not even pregnant. But, when it comes to love, we're all delusional, there's no such thing as enough. Asking for more, wanting more... its human nature, people always wants more, specially the things they think they can never have.
When she woke up from bed, having practiced the same tasks everyday, she started working. She folded their bed; she cleaned the house, did the laundry, took a bath, cooked, you know the usual chores a housewife would do. At lunch, she waited for him as she usually does. There was something bothering her today, something that ticks her. She waited for him for a while. It became hours. Realizing he won't have lunch at home, she ate the rest of the food. Soon she prepared dinner. It was night, again hours have passed. She must have fallen asleep in the dining room waiting for him. Yes, it was different. Today, he did not come home to eat lunch, nor dinner. He was somewhere else.

Sasuke knew where and when to stop. He knew everthing, or so he thought. Sasuke is not a man who takes back his words. When he said he's going to revive his clan, he will revive his clan. If his wife can't give him a child, he would find someone who can give him a child. You see, for Sasuke, it's not a matter of whom. It's a matter of what.
Since Sasuke was a child, it's not "who are you?", but "what are you?" he was raised that way. He did not receive much attention from his father because, there's always Itachi. It's not, "who is Sasuke?" but "What is Itachi?"
Sasuke wanted a son; someone who could carry the name Uchiha. He knows he could not be around forever. He wanted a strong child somewhat like him. At the same time; he wanted the child to be different in many ways; a better childhood, a better family and a better life. Also, in so many ways, he did not like the child to be like Hinata. When I said Hinata, I meant her weakness, and she has lots of it. That's why he had doubts when he married her. She may be beautiful and most men in konoha would still want to have her, being childless and all, he still did not want to have a weak child. Why he married her is still an epiphany for Sasuke himself. You may say out of pity or gratitude for the pleasure he got from her that night, but he still married her, and that's that.
Now, How could he revive a clan by being married for 3 years and still working on 'it' without a single product? If this is business, they would have long ago been out of it. But, this is not business, this is life we're talking about.
Sasuke started having flings over a month ago. He desperately needed it, not doing 'it', by 'it' I mean sex, and he wanted a child, not a waiting wife who can't bear him any. Nothing of whatever he did this month can be compared to what he is doing now. This is the first time ever in his whole life of being married to Hinata that he let, I mean made this happen. This time, there is an actual woman beside him, in bed, they've done 'it' and he had not come home all day not even telling Hinata that he's not coming home. Worst of all, this woman beside him is not just any woman. This is not the first time they did 'it' either.
He did not love her, nor does he like her. But you see the evidence of death surrounding a man makes him different. A thing he did not plan, or wasn't planning just happens. This was at the time when his mortality was in peril and he questions himself "Will I live? Will I survive?" this was the time when Sasuke was at his lowest. He formed the team Hebi confidently, but later found out that they have been fighting a battle that is lost. So, out of depression, guilt, desperation, relief or even reassurance, he did 'it' with Karin. She was the first he ever did 'it' with. He wanted someone to carry his name. Soon, the clouded sky became lighter, he was able to kill Itachi, he was back to konoha with Naruto, Karin was not pregnant, and he is free to go. At that time, he did not want to be with her in anyway. It even disgusts him. Ironic, now, she's just beside him.
How did it happen? How did Karin end up in Konoha? Well, simple. She loves Sasuke, and at all cost, she wants him with her.
How did Sasuke end up with Karin? Simple, Sasuke again is at his lowest. This time not for his life, but for the life that he wants to give.
